Ms. Jimenez will lead the unit, which implements and monitors the pension fund's overall portfolio strategy and risk profile. She will report to Scott Chan, CalSTRS' deputy chief investment officer.

Prior to her new director position, Jimenez was the portfolio manager leading the CalSTRS Investment Engagement Unit.
